still get some empty elements

[tbm]

Even after commit af23b50e41dae I get some empty fields.

Example:

[{'definitions': [{'examples': [],
                   'partOfSpeech': 'noun',
                   'relatedWords': [],
                   'text': ['Krismasi\xa0(n class, no plural)', 'Christmas']}],
  'etymology': 'From English Christmas.\n',
  'pronunciations': {'audio': [], 'text': []}}]

Test case:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from pprint import pprint

from wiktionaryparser import WiktionaryParser

parser = WiktionaryParser()
parser.set_default_language('swahili')
word = parser.fetch("Krismasi")

pprint(word)

@tbm Thank you for reporting this! I haven't released a new version of the parser with recent commits so just wanted to make sure that you're running from source and not from pip because that would be outdated. Could you clone the source and run python setup.py install from there?

[tbm]

Yes, this is with GitHub master.

Interesting, I'll have a look

@tbm #72 was supposed to fix cases where the output contains data for the wrong language. In your case, the output seems correct since you're setting the language to Swahili. I don't think this is an issue with the parser but, let me know if you're facing trouble with other words/languages

[tbm]

Right, but my question/bug is that the value I get contains empty elements. e.g.:

  'pronunciations': {'audio': [], 'text': []}}]

Why is pronunciations there when it wasn't set in the entry on Wiktionary?

[suyashb95]

@tbm the output schema is standard across all words/languages. A lot of words don't have pronunciations or related words so those values would turn up as empty objects/lists even though the keys are included in the JSON. Maybe I should add a note to the readme about this

[tbm]

Oh, ok, thanks for the clarification. I was just surprised to see empty values. I was expecting pronunciations to simply not exist when there's no pronunciation on Wiktionary.

Documenting this might be a good idea, thanks.
